Happiness always runs through a golden heart, not
once the heat to hot, it warmth like the sun upon
the back. it cools like a fresh breeze lingering in a
summer night.

Happiness appears within, it never stops to wonder
why, it wonders in the meadow of soft fresh grass
under foot, it touches the velvet leaves of the weeping
willow overhead.

It swims in streams, swift rapids, comforting
the savage beast, no violence does one have
when the song has been song, it shall never
be reversed, it goes on forward like a path built
into the wilderness..

Once your soul has been surrendered into peace
does your happiness start, till then, it stands dormant
waiting to be discovered, just one instant will happiness
enter like a storm never leaving...

It may seem a life time of searching, but an instant
to enter, accept the gift, it has always been there for
the taking, you only need to find the crack
in the glass of your immortal soul.
